Patent number: 12272895Abstract: A recessed D-subminiature connector assembly, and device with D-subminiature connector assembly, with flush mount cover connector is disclosed. The D-subminiature connector assembly may include a flush panel mount solution when using a D-Sub connector that allows the dust cover or cap to be in the same plane as the external side of the panel it is mounted to. The D-subminiature connector assembly also includes a panel-side interface flange sized to receive the second side of the D-shaped connector so a surface of the second side of the D-Shaped connector is parallel to, and recessed from, a plane of the panel-side interface flange and thus recessed from an opening of a panel of a device to which the connector assembly is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Northgate Technologies Inc.Inventor: Scott Carpenter

Patent number: 11998677Abstract: A surgical fluid manager includes a pump releasably engageable to tubing and a user interface. The user interface is configured to enable finger-touch selection of a fluid flow rate through the tubing and configured to operate in at least one of a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the flow rate is controlled via direct selection of one of a plurality of selectable digital numeric values, while in the second mode the flow rate is controlled via user selection of one alphanumeric identifier within a scale of alphanumeric identifiers. Each respective alphanumeric identifier directly corresponds to just one instrument size within a scale of instrument sizes.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: MEDTRONIC XOMED, INC.Inventors: Gerould W. Norman, Charles F. Scott Carpenter, Michael L. Koltz, Stephen R. Viviano

Publication number: 20240068689Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a thermostat comprising a processor configured to determine instructions for providing a flow of conditioned air to a first zone of the HVAC system. The HVAC system includes a damper located in a duct associated with the first zone of the HVAC system. The damper includes a moveable plate configured to block the flow of conditioned air through the duct when the movable plate is in a closed position and allow the flow of conditioned air through the duct when the movable plate is in an at least partially open position. The damper includes a wireless receiver and transmitter configured to receive the instructions for providing the flow of conditioned air to the first zone. The damper includes an actuator configured to move the movable plate based at least in part on the received instructions, thereby adjusting the flow of conditioned air to the first zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: Kenneth Scott Carpenter

Patent number: 11754969Abstract: A toner cartridge according to one example includes first and second alignment guides that extend outward from a first side and a second side of the toner cartridge, respectively, for positioning the toner cartridge. The first and second alignment guides define a pivot axis about which the toner cartridge is pivotable relative to an imaging unit when the toner cartridge is installed on the imaging unit. An engagement member is positioned on a rear of the toner cartridge for receiving a bias force for biasing the toner cartridge about the pivot axis when the toner cartridge is installed on the imaging unit. The engagement member is positioned next to the bottom of the housing. The engagement member includes an angled contact surface that faces upward and rearward for contacting a corresponding hold-down on the imaging unit when the toner cartridge is installed on the imaging unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Brian Scott Carpenter, Gregory Alan Cavill, James Richard Leemhuis, Jeffrey Lawrence Tonges

Publication number: 20230256215Abstract: A sinus dilation instrument useful with a navigation system and including a handle, a rigid probe, a balloon, and an identifier device. The probe extends from the handle, forms a curved segment, and carries the balloon. The identifier device is programmed to generate a signal indicative of an instrument identification assigned to the instrument, and is a frontal, maxillary or sphenoid sinus instrument. The signal is formatted to be recognized by an IGS. Once connected, the IGS recognizes the instrument and can retrieve information indicative of a spatial location of the balloon, for example via an instrument tracking device. A surgeon can “plug and play” the sinus dilation instrument with the IGS to perform a procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Robert K. Vaccaro, Charles Franklin Scott Carpenter, David J. Little, II, Ali Mowlai-Ashtiani, Matthew J. Nadeau, Dana Andrew Oliver

Patent number: 11635706Abstract: A toner cartridge according to one example embodiment includes a reservoir for holding toner. An outlet is positioned on a front of the toner cartridge for exiting toner from the toner cartridge. First, second and third electrical contacts are positioned on a first side of the toner cartridge for contacting corresponding first, second and third electrical contacts in an image forming device. Each of the first, second and third electrical contacts of the toner cartridge is electrically connected to a respective imaging component positioned on the toner cartridge. The first, second and third electrical contacts of the toner cartridge are positioned such that an imaginary line that angles downward in a direction from a rear of the toner cartridge toward the front of the toner cartridge passes through the first, second and third electrical contacts of the toner cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Brian Scott Carpenter, Gregory Alan Cavill, Jeffrey Lawrence Tonges
